A well on Jacksons' Moor above Whitwell was known as 'Robin Hood's Well' by the mid-19th century. It gave its name to the ravine in which it was situated.
Robin Hood's Well is first recorded on a 6" O.S. map published in 1851, based on a survey carried out 1844-48. There do not appear to be any modern references to it on the web. It is noted on a recent list of "non-designated heritage assets" in the area,[1] but the only source cited there is the 1851 map. Later maps show the tracks of a now long gone industrial railway crossing the areay in which the well is or was situated. It is conceivable that the well may have disappeared when the tracks were laid.Template:PnItemQry
